Annotation CCLIV
”The remnant, according to the election, are made safe [saved].” — Romans 11:5
Expiatory fire.
Origen, [in] the eighth book on the epistle to the Romans, interpreting these [words], seems to be of that opinion, that all — the good as well as the evil — are to enter, after this life, the fire of gehenna. For he has these words: “YET the end shall press hard upon all [things], and those indeed who are blessed, whether they [be] of Israel, or of the Gentiles,” etc. See above, Annotations 170 and 171 of the fifth book.
